How To Read

Learning how to read is all you could do
What you don't hear won't save you
I think I know now what you already knew
What you don't steer won't break through, oh

You'd tell me a tale, then you'd book it
Then I'd be there when you wouldn't
I'd see the love you couldn't
I'd wait for you to come back around just like a bullet

You should've done it right the first time
The thought of us keeps me in line
The moral of the story's not hard to find
There's no "I" in team 'cause we both align

I'm just here to master myself
You got me under your spell
I need another bookshelf
I'm just reading for my health

We're free to do whatever feels right
The thought of us keeps me in line
What I got is love, it feels sublime
I step out with you and diamonds ain't what shine

I'm just hoping the plot goes well
You got me under your spell
I need another bookshelf
I'm just reading for my health

Our chamber of secrets locked tight
Our secrets we keep 'till we die
All of my demons act nice
I won't pretend to know why

I gave up to how well you fell
You fell under pressure we both melt
Don't knock before ringing the doorbell
I'm scared to respect what you won't tell

Turn the page on your life
You're right enough to leave when you might
Know you'd never finish the fight
Know you wouldn't lie when I'd lie

I say less to come out of my shell
To you, I'm just like everyone else
I'm not sure you'd come for my help
But I'd say how I always felt

Learning how to read is all you could do
What you don't hear won't save you
I think I know now what you already knew
What you don't steer won't break through, oh

You'd tell me a tale, then you'd book it
Then I'd be there when you wouldn't
I'd see the love you couldn't
I'd wait for you to come back around just like a bullet
